The Cellomaker

THE CELLOMAKERBY: J. Avram WernerOn sabbatical in London with his wife and away from the Eagle Foundation, Sam is informed that his associate and childhood friend has been shot and now lies in a coma near death. Stunned, they return home to be by his side and try to understand the reason for this terrible tragedy. They are shocked to discover that this is only the beginning. Secrets begin to unravel before them that affect not only their lives but the security of a nation - a nation that is about to elect a new President. Their world begins to turn upside-down when past actions of Sam's father-in-law, a retired general in the military, reveal a past no one knew about. A secret village is discovered in the mountains of Russia protected by the ancestors at any cost and now led by an old man who controls information that will affect the future security and presidency of the United States. Enter a world where espionage, power and political half-truths fill the streets of Washington and are the topic of everyday conversation. You're not six degrees from knowing the workings of government or the shakers of a nation - the world - you are one and two degrees away. Where both what you know and who you know are topics of editorial speculation and front-page news in the morning paper. This is a story about family, friends and commitment. Ordinary people, as they perceive themselves, working for the protection of their lives - their family - and their country.
